Stihl says its BR 450 and BR 450 C-EF professional backpack blowers come packed with new features for operator comfort and convenience. In addition, the BR 450 C-EF model is the first professional Stihl blower equipped with an integrated instant electric start, designed to help pros save time and money on the job.
No more idling between jobs. With the push of a button on the throttle of the BR 450 C-EF, the electric start technology allows professionals to start and stop the unit while wearing it on their back. No more idling while walking to the next job and no need to remove the unit to restart, saving precious time and money. The electric start is conveniently powered by an on-board battery that charges while the unit is running, making it an ideal product for pros on the go.
Other key features standard on both new blowers include:
- 63.3cc engine
- Newly designed telescopic tube adjustment allows user to quickly adjust the length for a variety of user heights and cleanup applications
- Stihl Easy2Start for a simplified starting procedure and semi-automatic choke offers smooth, easy starts with a reduced chance of flooding
- Toolless control handle allows each user to easily adjust to their most comfortable position
- Large straps, backpack pad and a soft rubber grip on the throttle come standard for optimal control and more comfortable operation
“Both units combine performance and comfort to help pros and homeowners complete large property maintenance with less fatigue,” said Stephen Meriam, director of sales at Stihl Inc. “The BR 450 and BR 450 C-EF have powerful blowing forces rivaling our top-rated backpack blowers.”
